Makes you wonder if it's rigged

Reallly?!?!? I can't understand why every game is lost because of the officials. Congratulate the winners on a great game and the losers for great effort.

No pressure on McKenzie. Punahou's DBS are weak.....

Well, Punahou had a DB sticking to Mililani receiver Timoteo like glue all night, but Timoteo still made clutch catches, some for TDs. It might not be so much that Punahou's DBs were weak; at least not the one covering Timoteo. It's probably more that Timoteo is simply an outstanding receiver. Heck, he out-performed Punahou receiver Noa last night, and Noa was the best receiver in the state.

Outstanding? In ur opinion. I think he's a good receiver and has room to develop. But outstanding? Sure he is against average db's. But against better than average db's, he's still got a long way to go.

db is a hard position to play, the only reason mill did not have success on the kahuku db's is that the front 7 defense put milton out of his comfort zone.
timoteo (and noa in the kahuku vs. punahou game) got behind kahukus best db a couple of times but the QB's ended up throwing too long or short because of the pressure from the front 7.

i remember in the kahuku game timoteo got more then two strides behind gillman and was wide open, milton threw a perfect strike for timoteo in the end zone but our safety (keala boy) came
out of nowhere and intercepted it. its a team game.

punahou defensive strategy is to blame.

Actually all in all, after watching the game tape and the replay, it was a very good called games by the refs. I think after all that chatter by some sports announcers and blogs getting lit up last week with bad calls, things got solidified. Hats off to the refs.

Well, I'm not sure that Punahou's defensive strategy is to blame. Punahou had such a good defensive front-seven that they could win with almost any strategy. I think the real hero of the game is Mililani's O-line; they protected QB Milton from one of the best defensive front-seven units in the state. What's even more amazing is that several of those Mililani O-linemen were playing hurt. Receiver Timoteo was named Mililani's player of the game, but I think the unit of the game for Mililani was definitely their O-line.
